I am not going to try “Get Google Ads Free”

Once upon a time, I had a free coupon code to sign up with Google Adwords.  Sadly, it’s expired, so I thought I’d see if I could easily find another one.  A quick Blingo search didn’t pull any codes up but it did point me to a product called “Get Google Ads Free”.

This product is an ebook that promises to reveal a secret method to receive free Google Adwords ads (I’m intentionally not linking to it to avoid boosting their search engine rankings).  It is a pretty steep $67, but not that steep if it really did what it says. I was tempted to buy it, but I’m always tempted to buy these things (which is why I started this blog!), but thought I should do a little more research first.

Another quick search made it pretty clear that searching was a good idea!

I found one review that was initially ambivalent, favoring the “buy” recommendation, but later updated to recommend avoiding (this one’s a good one to read if you want to know what the secret actually is, in vague terms).  I found another that is pretty straightforward about the risks and recommends other products that would be better suited for those who want to learn about Internet marketing.  The Digital Point forum inhabitants also gave this ebook a thorough thrashing.

It sounds like the concept might be alright (though quite a bit different than what’s advertised in the sales letter, since you aren’t actually getting ads free but simply recouping some of the ad costs… if you’re lucky).  It’s basically a take on ad arbitrage, which I’ve heard of but haven’t explored (haven’t found the time).  However, I really dislike the shady business practices this product is using, so I’m staying far, far away.
